Oh yes. Offers no or little resistance to combustion gases its full of holes!
Don't ignore the 2nd ring though, as this ring also helps to control oil. It's likely to have a tapered profile on the OD with a sharp lower edge, assuming its installed correctly?! It's designed to ride over the oil on the cylinder wall on the up stroke for lubrication of the ring pack, pretty much the same way as a water skier rides over water, but scrapes oil down on the downward stroke with the sharp edge created by the taper.
